Emulsion Polymerization

Dear Colleagues,

Emulsion polymerization is a process in which the interplay between multiple physical and chemical events makes for fascinating and complex behaviours. Furthermore, the products of the processes have an extraordinary range of applications. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the continuing importance of emulsion polymerization by showcasing high quality research in this discipline. Submissions are welcome on fundamental experimental or theoretical investigations of emulsion polymerization and related heterogeneous polymerizations (including miniemulsion, microemulsion, suspension and inverse emulsion), on control of emulsion polymerization at the molecular or colloidal level, on application of emulsion polymerization for the generation of novel morphologies and materials, on functionalization of polymer colloids prepared by emulsion polymerization, and, indeed, on any other aspect of emulsion polymerization.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
